On the border line<\/h1>\n

by: Inas Essa<\/p>\n

On the border line,
\nCan’t make a decision and talk
\nCan’t stay silent,
\nWords stuck in your mind and throat,
\nTo speak them out you are afraid
\nFear of criticism and misunderstanding
\nControls you,
\nSwallowing your power,
\nThen you get a chance to speak your mind
\nYou open your mouth with closed teeth,
\nStill in your head
\nEddy thoughts trying to shadow each other,
\nCurtains before your eyes
\nSaying in a half whisper
\nYou cannot, it is over,
\nSo,
\nYou shut your mouth firmly
\nWithout getting a word out,
\nOr even uttering a sound
\nStill on the border line
\nHelplessly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
